Chapter 1304: Chapter 1301: Gone Mad
She would no longer need to worry about Madam dealing with foolish acts and living in fear.
“Actually, so days ago, I heard that at court, Duke Zheng joked about sending a beauty to Lord Chu. Who knew that two days later, Lord Chu would appear at court with marks on his neck, discovered unintentionally.”
“Everyone was joking that Lord Chu is afraid of his wife.”
Qing He said, staring with her round eyes, sowhat blankly, “Young Miss, do you think Madam is really fierce? Rumors say that Lord Chu was beaten by Madam.”
“It probably isn’t likely.” Although Huo Hongyan believed in her heart that Lord Chu was a capable man and couldn’t possibly fail to manage even his wife, what if, just what if Madam had gone mad and really scratched Lord Chu’s face?
She felt a bit of sympathy for Lord Chu in her heart.
Ye Muyu was still unaware that in Huo Hongyan’s mind, she might have ‘gone mad’.
She was currently learning sewing with Chu Ziluo.
Ye Muyu had not initially thought of this, mainly because she felt her sewing was truly not good enough, and she wasn’t keen on doing it by hand, so she subconsciously neglected it.
But as the months went by,
Madam Liu found her and said she needed to sew a set of clothes for the child by hand for use when the baby was born, as this was the custom of their ancestral ho.
So Ye Muyu could only muster her energy and learn with Chu Ziluo.
However, her progress was slow, and she couldn’t sit for long before needing to get up and walk around, or else her stomach would feel uncomfortable.
Thus, she spent almost all of her free ti every day making new clothes for the child.
While Ye Muyu was struggling with her needlework,
a new decision was finally made at court.
Three third-grade generals had been sacrificed, and the Northern Region had to send another deputy general over.
The court ordered several major generals from outside to send support.
Even General Shen received an Imperial Decree.
Such military orders during warti were quite normal.
But Chu Heng, upon returning ho, always had the feeling that sothing was off.
Ye Muyu was battling with her needlework, and after a long ti without hearing any sound from him, she looked up.
Upon looking, she noticed that Chu Heng was frowning in a daze.
“Ah Heng, what are you thinking about? Is there sothing troubling you at court?” Ye Muyu asked casually.
After spending so much ti on needlework, she simply put her sewing down, stood up, and walked around while rubbing her back.
Chu Heng reached out to her, and Ye Muyu walked to the couch, placing her hand in his.
“What’s wrong?” Chu Heng massaged his furrowed brow.
Chu Heng relaxed his forehead and smiled at her: “It’s nothing.”
“I heard that recently the Emperor issued an Imperial Decree, asking other stationed generals to dispatch deputy generals to the Northern Region?” Ye Muyu had always been up to date with news from the capital.
“Hmm, General Shen also has an Imperial Decree.” Chu Heng said, pausing slightly: “Actually, a couple of years ago, General Shen was nearly frad. Now that I think about it, I feel that Duke Zheng is likely to make a move on the military.”
In a past life, General Shen’s family was raided, and the commandant under the Shen family’s army was disbanded, with the soldiers of Luoping Pass taken under the command of a general under Duke Zheng.
This clearly showed that Duke Zheng was intent on seizing military power.
If he were Duke Zheng, he wouldn’t let go of such an opportunity either.
“So could my elder brother possibly be dispatched there?” Ye Muyu pondered and said.
“Not necessarily.”
Chu Heng shook his head.
Ye Muyu talked with him for a while longer, then did not disturb him any further.
Days passed by, one after another.
Ye Muyu’s childbirth was drawing increasingly near.
And the provincial examinations of that year were being prepared for with great urgency and thoroughness.
